i dont have a gen 3 nor have i driven one, however i can offer some
useful advice,
1. tyes will obviously effect your grip, what you want is a good All Round tyer one that vents wet and also has grip for roads which wont leave half the tyre on the m1 when its hot,
for this i recomend some falken tyers to be quite honnest

2. my Gen1 used to be a night mare going over 50 mph going round any corner so bad that i actually span it out and nearly had a serious accident,
i lowered mine by 25 mm using only eibach springs at first and saw a massive improvement
now my only issues are in the wet to be honnest. although i do still step out on the odd occasion if my tyers are not hot.
3. Camber
now this is where im going next to eliminate some of my crappy rear end problems im going to invest in some camber bolts to bring me into 0.75 degree negative camber, this will eliminate all your under steering issues in my opinion but i would not advise doing this unless youve lowered the cars Center of gravity via lowering springs or new shocks.
4. im not sure about this one so please dont do it and then shout at me if im wrong :mrgreen: but if you increase your wheel base then you will have a larger distance for your suspension to adjust there for you in therory should be abel to eliminate yet again even more understeer however this will put strain on your wheel bearings so i wouldnt advise any more than 15mm,
5. Strut braces
dont even bother spending the money for the time being, trust me unless your cambers are set and your veicle is lowered your wasting your money in my opinion all you do is stiffen up the struts and without the correct camber sttings its a waste of time, however with your cambers set then go go go as it theroreticly should make a massive diffence as your wheel should stay inline and be very taught, i still would recomend stiffer spring as i think it would be a waste of money with out!
hope this helps
